Pittsburg’s Police Chief Comes in Contact with the State Department. Pittsburg, Sept I.—The attempt of Chief-of-police Braun, some time ago, to compel the Austro-Hungarian consnl, Mr. SchamDerg, stationed at this city, to take down an Austrian flag, because he regarded it as a violation of a municipal ordinance against obstruction of streets, has been taken cognizance of by the Austrian government nnd tho State Department of the United States, as the following correspondence will show: Executive Department, ) Commonwealth or Pennsylvania, > Aug. 29, 1884. ) Don. Andrew Fulton, Mayor of the City of Pittsburg: .Sir—l have the honor to submit to you the inclosed copy of a communication received this day from Hon. Frederick T. Frelinghuyseu, Secretarv of State, Washington, D. C., in regard to the difficulties existing botween the Austro-Hungarian consul, at Pittsburg, and the chief of police of the same city, and to request that it receive your prompt attention, and that you communicate to me, at your earliest convenience, the result of your action in the premises. Respectfully yours, Robert T. Pattison.

Dxp’t or State, Washington. Aug, 26, 1884. His Excellency Robert E. Pattison, Governor of Pennsylvania: Sir—Baron Schoefer, minister of Austria-Hungary at this capital, has received and brought to the attention of this department the fact that on a recent oeremonial occasion—that of the anniversary of the birth of his majesty the Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary—when the Austro-Hungarian consul at Pittsburg displayed the flag of that nation in front of his consulate, he was peremptorily ordered by the chief of police to take it down, it being displayed in violation of a municipal ordinance which prohibited the hanging out of swinging signals as street obstructions. Mr. Schamberg. the consul in question, refnsed to remove the flag, claiming his right so to hoist it in pursuance of existing treaty stipulations between the United States and Austria-Hungary. In an interview between Baron Schaefer ana Mr. John Davis, Assistant Secretary of State, it was suggested that Mr. Braun, chief of police of Pittsburg, might have acted in ignorance of the consul's rights under the treaty, and, the Barou haring received a report that the flag had remained untouched all day, seamed disposed to adopt that view and allow the matter to drop without further notice. Baron Seluefer, in a note to me on the 23d inst,, state* that the chief of police has pursued the matter so far as to sue the consulate for disobeying his orders, and has asked for Mr. Schamberg's arrest, and under these circumstances, invokes the interference of the department. The fourteen articles of the consular convention of July, 1870, between the United States and Austria-Hungary provides that ‘ ‘consuls-general consuls and vice-consuls and consular agents shall be at liberty to place over the chief entrance of their respective offices, the arms of their nation, with the inscription, 'CoDsnlato-geneval,' ‘Consulate,’ ‘Vice-con-sulate,’ or ‘Consular Agency,’ as may be. They shall also bo at liberty to hoist their flag on board a vessel employed by them in a port for discharge of their duty.” It is unnecessary to observe to your Excellency that, under the Constitution of the United States, the treaty in q uestion is part of the supreme law of the laud, and lias the same force and effect as a statute of the United States, and is to be respected and obeyed in the same manner; any State law or municipal ordinance to the contrary not withstanding. I have the honor, therefore, to request that your Excellency will bring the subject of those instructions to the early attention of the superior authorities of the city of Pittsburg, presumably the mayor, that any proceedings which may have boon instituted by the chief of police against the consul should he at once dismissed without any charge to that gentleman, and at the same time that a courteous and fitting explanation be made to him. American consuls have precisely the same rights in Austria-Hungary as are claimed by Mr. Schamberg in this instance, and I ' have no doubt but that you will coincide with me in the sentiment that international courtesy, no less than treaty obligations, demand that these rights should be respected by all local authorities in the United States. I will thank yon to make known to me the result of such action as you may deem proper to take. I have the honor to be, sir, yourobedient servant. Frederick T. FBELitfsuriSEN. Major Fulton pays he was absent when the differences between Consul Schamberg and Chief Brann occurred, and that he will take no action until he consults his attorney. A Suspicious Case. Middleport, 0., Sept. I. —Miss Maggie Rathburn, while out buggy riding with A. E. Benedict, a druggist of Rutland, last night, was reported by him to have left the buggy and shot herself with a revolver. The case excites interest. and Benedict was arrested, but is out on bail.

New Orleans, Sept 1. —Sealed proposals will be received by the management of the World’s Exposition up to Sopt 20, for the right to take and sell portraits and views of the grounds and buildings, the interior of the buildings and exhibits, with the consent of exhibitors. Atelgameat at Cleveland. Cleveland, 0., Sept 1. —The Cleveland NonExploeive Lamp Company assigned to-day to Wm. Walton, who gave bond in $60,000. Liabilities and assets not stated. Tunneling a Volcano. Some enterprising Yankees have bought a volcano in Mexico, and are running a tunnel into it about half way up the crater, through which they expect to draw off an enormous quantity of sulphnc. Volcanoes in the human system take the form of pimples, boils and carbuncles. They proceed from weak and impure blood, which Brown’s Iron Bitters strengthens and purifies. Mr. Shank, of Petersburg, Vo., says: “It caused the eruptions on his skin to entirely disappear.”

Attica, Sept L —The committee on observance of the Sabbath mode the following report, which was unanimously adopted: “We heartily approve and reaffirm the action of our General Conference on this subject, which is as follows: ‘We view, with grave ap prehensions, the growing disregard throughout the land for the Christian Sabbath, and the evidently increasing laxity of conscienco among our people respecting the sacreduees of the day. If the foundations bo distroyed, what can the righteous do'l A proper recognition of the sanctity of the holy Sabbath is one of the chief corner-stones in the foundation of the church and of our Christian civilization. If this be removed by the persistent efforts of those who seek to destroy it, or lose, in any sense, its sacred character through laxity of conscience among Christians, everything held dear or sacred in both church and state cannot but be disastrously affected. Furthermore, we recognize as an infraction of both moral and eivil law the pursuit of ordinary business or labor on the Sabbath day, and regard it destructive of the best interests of the individual, the homo and of society; therefore “Resolved, That we deplore the low state of moral sentiment which permits, almost without rebnfeo, certain elements of the community to live in Constant violation of this wholesome law by keeping open ordinary places of business, drinking saloons, running railroad trains and engaging in Sunday picnics. “That we regard all unnecessary travel on the Sabbath, the buying and reading of Sunday papers and all forms of pleasure-taking on that day as being in violation of the divine injunction, ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. “That we will faithfully employ all lawful measures to lead our people everywhere to a higher appreciation of the Sabbath as the great law of God and conservator of moral and civil government." Following is the list of appointments for the ensuing year, os announced by the bishop: Crawfordsville District—J. W. Green, P. K. Clermont, W. B. Warren; Coatsville, E. Mason; Covii\gton, J. L.
